Investigators are looking into the pilot and copilot of missing flight MH370. The copilot is believed to have told air traffic control that everything was "all right" when the plane first started to divert from their course. Meanwhile, the media is linking the pilot with an opposition party leader in Malaysia, but some believe that he was simply pro democracy and not a zealot.
